What I Did This Weekend...

I was feeling a little crafty this weekend and got busy on some projects. I printed the banner from this website and the girls and I cut, glued and hung the banner. I also scored this table which was about to be thrown out. It was that honey oak color to begin with and I primed, painted and silver-leafed the knobs. I adhered the jars to glass candlesticks with gorilla glue and made cute little apothecary candy jars. I think when the candy is depleted, I will fill them with beads or beans or something less tempting to little hands.
Thursday evening, I cast on this scarf and worked on it throughout general conference and finished it up Sunday evening. I love the 75/25 wool blend of this yarn. As you can see, I may have to make another one for Braelyn.
Check out this site where I found the recipe for these pumpkin creme pies! They have dozens of scrumptious recipes. Beware - these pies are really rich with the cream cheese filling but oh, so good!
